I5000 in position pad placement

[Ultra Shine]

I am a newer owner of a car wash and have a I5000

I was wondering if anyone else is using a 24L x 10W treadle/switch plate instead of the Air treadle.

The installation instructions say where to place an Air treadle and another devise but no mention of a plate.


My issue is when a truck specifically a F150 crew cab comes in the bay, if he doesn't roll to the center of the pad he will shut the machine down. Mostly its to close to the tailgate and the water pressure will block the Telco photo eyes.

I am wondering what spacing others may be using for the in position pads.

Currently mine is 55" from the center of the pad to the center of the arch mounting plate.

I've used the switch plate on the D&S 5000 many times and just bolted it down across the air treadle left in place. The switch plate never lasted and we'd usually change it back to the tilt switch.
